Functional Divergence of Glycoprotein Hormone Receptors [PDF]
, 2010 Two lamprey glycroprotein hormone receptors (lGpH-R I and II) highly similar with gnathostome GpH-Rs were cloned from sea lamprey testes and thyroid, respectively.

Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal Endocrine System in the Hagfish
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013 The hypothalamic-pituitary system is considered to be a seminal event that emerged prior to or during the differentiation of the ancestral agnathans (jawless vertebrates).

The Spinobulbar System in Lamprey [PDF]
, 2007 Locomotor networks in the spinal cord are controlled by descending systems which in turn receive feedback signals from ascending systems about the state of the locomotor networks.

Cloning and Characterization of Mannose-Binding Lectin from Lamprey (Agnathans) [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2006 AbstractThe recognition of pathogens is mediated by a set of pattern recognition molecules that recognize conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns shared by broad classes of microorganisms. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is one of the pattern recognition molecules and activates complement in association with MBL-associated serine protease (MASP ...

Dissecting early regulatory relationships in the lamprey neural crest gene network [PDF]
, 2008 The neural crest, a multipotent embryonic cell type, originates at the border between neural and nonneural ectoderm. After neural tube closure, these cells undergo an epithelial–mesenchymal transition, migrate to precise, often distant locations, and ...

The unique fossil assemblage from the Lode Quarry (Upper Devonian, Latvia) [PDF]
Fossil Record, 2001 The unique fossil fauna from the Lode clay quarry, lower Frasnian, Latvia, includes a diverse ichthyofauna of at least 15 taxa of agnathans and gnathostomes, representing most of the major taxa of Devonian vertebrates. Six new fish taxa (five species and

Ancient evolutionary origin of vertebrate enteric neurons from trunk-derived neural crest [PDF]
, 2017 The enteric nervous system of jawed vertebrates arises primarily from vagal neural crest cells that migrate to the foregut and subsequently colonize and innervate the entire gastrointestinal tract.

Three foxg1 paralogues in lampreys and gnathostomes—brothers or cousins?
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyFoxg1 is a key regulator of the early development of the vertebrate forebrain and sensory organs. In this study, we describe for the first time three foxg1 paralogues in lamprey, representative of one of two basally diverged lineages of vertebrates—the ...

Origin and evolutionary landscape of Nr2f transcription factors across Metazoa.
PLoS ONE, 2021 BackgroundNuclear Receptor Subfamily 2 Group F (Nr2f) orphan nuclear hormone transcription factors (TFs) are fundamental regulators of many developmental processes in invertebrates and vertebrates.

Hagfish predatory behaviour and slime defence mechanism [PDF]
, 2011 Hagfishes (Myxinidae), a family of jawless marine pre-vertebrates, hold a unique evolutionary position, sharing a joint ancestor with the entire vertebrate lineage. They are thought to fulfil primarily the ecological niche of scavengers in the deep ocean.
